Institutional Measures

Evidence-Based Care

Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center tracks specific measures related to the delivery of evidence-based care.

Strategic Improvement Measures for Evidence-Based Care
  • Annual admissions will decrease
  • Annual number of Community Referred ED visits will decrease
  • Children will not be kept in the hospital any longer than is necessary (Leave within four hours of meeting discharge goals)
  • Evidence-based care will be provided equally across patients without regard to race or payor status
  • Family answered "always" or "yes, definitely" they were involved in decisions about their child's treatment
  • Only patients that need to be here will be admitted (Meet admission criteria)
  • Patients will be provided evidence based care decreasing overuse and inappropriate use of treatment
